While not an altogether terrible film, 'Independence Day: Resurgence' proves you can have too much of a good thing - especially when nothing new is brought to the table.Īfter finishing what is now my second viewing of 'Independence Day: Resurgence,' I realized how completely pointless it is for me to offer up my traditional one to three paragraph story recap. Some films panned out and were halfway decent, others were woeful miscalculations that crashed and burned. From a remake of ' Ghostbusters' to a near mute Matt Damon in ' Jason Bourne' to a fun but flawed reunion with the ' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,' the summer of 2016 dumped as much nostalgia onto audiences as humanly possible. In 2016, Hollywood officially overdosed on Nostalgia.

Like most things in life, you can overdo it. Every once in awhile, it's fun to go back and breathe in those vapors, but it's important not to take in too much. It's nice to take a step back and remember the good old days of yesteryear when your favorite movies were fresh and new.
